OPERATION
INTENDED USE:
This log splitter is intended and designed to only split wood. NEVER use for any other
purposes. Doing so can cause injury or VOID THE WARRANTY.
IMPORTANT:
This unit is shipped with oil but without gasoline in the engine. After assembly, see separate
Engine Manual for proper fuel and oil recommendations.
WARNING: DO NOT START OR RUN THE LOG SPLITTER WITHOUT OIL IN THE ENGINE AND
HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR.
FILLING THE HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR
Fill the hydraulic reservoir to within the hydraulic operating range as marked on the tank with general-purpose
automatic transmission fluid or general-purpose hydraulic fluid. After the hydraulic reservoir and the engine
crankcase are filled correctly with their respective oils, start the engine. Remember to set the throttle and turn on the
fuel shut-off valve. The hydraulic pump should prime itself. With the engine running, move the hydraulic valve lever
toward the wedge. This will cause the cylinder to extend and expel air. When the cylinder is fully extended, retract it.
Repeat this procedure several times. (An erratic movement of the cylinder indicates that there is air in the system).
Once the cylinder has a smooth and constant speed indicating that all air has been expelled, add fluid until the level is
within the indicated range as marked on the tank.
START UP
WARNING: DO NOT START OR RUN THE LOG SPLITTER WITHOUT OIL IN THE ENGINE
AND HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR.

Before starting engine make sure crankcase is filled correctly with oil and the proper fuel has been used. The engine
